So don't be... I just don't get why people would ever be fans of this franchise. I get that you like DC characters. I do too. But what these directors are doing (or at least Snyder is doing) is essentially mocking you. He ignores the comic books which have so much good content, he compromises the character's inherent traits to make way for his whims, and above all he chooses really bad color pallets that hurts the eyes when you try to watch the movie. All this would be acceptable if he at least made a solid movie but he doesn't. His movies, even in his extended cuts are filled with plot holes. Love DC. Hate DCEU.

@@hittingyouoverthehead true but some DCEU movies are really good. Atleast the movies which Snyder has touched the least are good.

And interference to some degree is necessary. WB wanted to include some more action scenes in that movie. But she refused to do so. And they also wanted to change some scenes.
